Profile

Where I Live:: Barelas por vida

About Me:: A silly little San Francisco girl who lived in Phoenix for FIVE YEARS, and just relocated to Albuquerque. I up and moved myself from my childhood, the streets I knew, and all my friends in the pursuit of graduate school, cheaper living, and life experience. I'm finally tackling that great big mountain called graduate school - having finally been accepted to the School of Public Administration at the University of New Mexico. I have been blessed to have kept the good friends from the bay, found a bunch that I thought I lost, and have made so many more on my way.

Professionally, I'm a nonprofit fundraiser and social/political advocate. My passion is to find the root of the cause and figure out how to sell it to as many constituencies as possible. Fundraising is fundamentally marketing, and I enjoy turning a mission into a great package for the community to buy into. I currently work at the National Atomic Museum, which is a FASCINATING museum distinctively New Mexican. I'm the in-house special events and party maven, and LOVE putting together a fabulous event!

Personally, I live and love in the world of Rockabilly, Burlesque, Art, Performance, classic cars, coffee, with a little SCA thrown in there for fun!

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: so far: trees, changes in weather, people, air quality, bunnies, roadrunners, and toads at the Rio Grande Pool

Relationship Status:: In a Relationship

My Website:: http://www.myspace.com/ririsyncyr

What I'm Listening To:: a lot of Gnarls Barkley, with a little Marti Brom on the side

These are a few of my favorite things

My crafting & sewing blog

Chamber Music for All Occasions (my moms business)

Craigslist

Kfog Bay Area Radio

the bassoon is a part of your everyday life

Growing up, I always knew we lived life differently. My friends had dads in their homes, I had mine on the weekends. Other families had Volvos, we had a beat up late 70’s VW bus that couldn’t hit 55 if it tried. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, there was definitely a lot o… Continue

Porque Burque - The Photographers of Duke City Fix

I moved to Albuquerque over seven months ago. My first week living here happened to be the week of Balloon Fiesta. I was in awe. I had never seen anything like the Burque, nor felt anything like that feeling of awe and vastness tha… Continue

a funny thing happened on the way to the zoo

One of my many activities here in Abq is the local SCA group of Al-Barran. It's a fun game, a fun group of people, and there's always something interesting going on. The things I love about the game fulfill my crafty & history loving nature. As a result of my participation in the game, I do a lot of historical costuming - mostly of Han and Tang China (my personal favorites!). I have also dug into some history and made things r… Continue

Even if you didn't follow through with that for some reason, please respond so we have a chance to work it out in a positive way. .

But I'm wondering where you credited me--I don't see any indication of the promised recognition, and I'm hoping I just missed it somehow.
